1 Samuel 11

1 Nahash ja-Amon nodhi malo momonjo Jabesh Gilead. Eka joma chwo man Jabesh Gilead nowachone niya, “Tim winjruok kodwa to wabiro bedo wasumbini magi.”

2 To Nahash ja-Amon nodwoko niya, “Abiro timo winjruok kodu mana ka uyie ni agolo wengeu ma korachwich kuom ngʼato ka ngʼato mondo akuodgo wi Israel duto.”

3 Eka jodong Jabesh nowachone niya, “Miwa ndalo abiriyo mondo waor joote e piny Israel duto kaonge ngʼama oyie biro konyowa to wabiro chiwore e lweti.”

4 Kane joote otundo Gibea dalagi Saulo mi ginyiso ji wechego, giduto ne giywak matek.

5 E sechego noyudo Saulo duogo koa e puodho ka owuotho bangʼ rwethe eka nopenjo ni, Angʼo marach gi ji? Angʼo momiyo giywak? Eka negiwachone kendo weche mane jo-jabesh owacho.

6 Kane Saulo owinjo wechegi, Roho mar Nyasaye nobiro kuome gi teko, mi iye nowangʼ ahinya.

7 Ne okawo rwedhi ariyo mag pur mi oyangʼo mi opogo ringʼo lemo lemo, eka nooro joote gi ringʼogi e piny Israel duto, kowacho niya, “Ma e gima ibiro timne rweth ngʼat modagi luwo bangʼ Saulo gi Samuel.” Eka luoro mar Jehova Nyasaye ne omako ji mine giwuok gi chuny achiel.

8 Kane Saulo okwanogi Bezek, jo-Israel ne oromo alufu mia adek to jo-Juda ne oromo alufu piero adek.

9 Neginyiso joote mane obiro niya, “Wachneuru jo-Jabesh Gilead ni, ‘E sa ma chiengʼ oore, enoresu.’” Kane joote odwoko ne jo-Jabesh wachni negimor.

10 Eka neginyiso jo-Amon niya, “Kiny wanachiwre e lwetu kendo unutimnwa gima uneno ni bernu.”

11 Kinyne Saulo nopogo joge e migepe adek; kane ochopo kogwen eka negidonjo e kambi mar jo-Amon mi ginegogi nyaka chiengʼ obet makech. Jogo mane otony ne oke maonge ji ariyo mane owe kawuotho kaachiel.

12 Eka ji nowachone Samuel niya, “Ngʼa gini mane penjo ni, ‘Bende Saulo dibed ruodhwa?’ Kelnwagi mondo waneg-gi.”

13 To Saulo nowacho niya, “Onge ngʼama inego kawuono nikech kawuono Jehova Nyasaye osereso Israel.”

14 Eka Samuel ne owacho ne ji niya, “Biuru wadhi Gilgal kendo kuno wadhi guro loch Saulo.”

15 Omiyo ji duto nodhi Gilgal kendo negiguro Saulo kaka ruoth e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Kuno ne gichiwoe misengini mag lalruok e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo Saulo kod Israel noloso budho malich ahinya.
